Welcome back- so what have we been doing?
Since the last blog post, we have been working at a property at Castle-An-Dinas (along the old A30) where there has been an issue with water flow and pressure. Upon further investigation we discovered a leak coming through the ground from the water main. We dug up the water main where the leak was and repaired the leak.
Once we found the leak we discovered that the cause was the pipe being buried in sharp rocks which had pierced the pipe with natural ground movement. unfortunately the whole pipe was buried like this, so as we fixed the leak and the pressure built up again; the pipe burst in a new area, the only option this left us with was to replace the pipe and bury it properly.
This is still an ongoing project, but you can view our progress in the images below.

What else?
 Removing the old bathroom We have also began a bathroom project, where we are removing the old bathroom and replacing it with a new one. so far we have removed the old bathroom and re-plastered the ceiling, you can check out the pictures here showing our progress. |  Plastering the ceiling |

What's new at our house?
 Drilling out the holes for the whirlpool system | In our own home we are working hard to get our bathroom 'user friendly' before we have relatives come to stay. so far we have the shower completed and 3 walls tiled. To make things a little more exciting we have also fitted a whirlpool system to our bath. The aim for this weekend is to install the underfloor heating and get the floor tiles down. After that we can re-fit the toilet properly and then we shall be ready for our guests on Thursday. Wish us luck! |  The Fitted system |
How the system works
Finally- a commonly asked question
| Many customers considering having a Air Source Heat Pump Fitted are unsure as to whether they want one or not as they have heard they make a lot of noise. we can assure you that this is only a rumour and the ASHP is actually very quiet, you can watch our video here to hear for yourself how quiet it is against our head engineer's soft speaking. | |
